About Munda Wines
Munda is the Wirangu & Kokatha word for land that pre-dates the French concept of ‘terroir’ by over 80,000 years. Our philosophy is to express the munda of select Aboriginal countries.
As Aboriginal people we don’t believe in owning the munda. We believe munda is our mother and giver, and that if we care for munda, munda will care for us.For over 80,000 years our First Nation’s People, my ancestors, have respected munda first.
My ancestors have extensive experience caring for munda across over 500 countries and language groups on this munda we now call Australia.
Munda Wines have partnered with artisan winemakers from specific countries who have a deep respect for munda. These winemakers and viticulturalists have grown vitis vinifera (grape vine) in their regions for many, many decades and across generations and have seen the impacts of climate change on munda. They have observed, trialled new methods and adapted, as my people have done over their 80,000 plus years.
The Munda Wines philosophy extends equally to our approach in the cellar, where the values of patience and gentle practices bring to life wines that not only possess the generosity for which our Aboriginal countries are renowned, but more importantly a refined texture, fragrance and a sense of restraint.
Our wine style is to always reflect each individual munda, preferring minimal intervention in the winery, second and third use oak regimes to showcase munda, and preferring to bottle relatively early to reflect the brightness of our wines.
